How to calculate virginia income tax

To determine the total tax liability in Virginia, you need to account for: federal tax, virginia state tax, social security tax and medicare tax.

Example: calculating taxes for an annual income of $65,000 in Virginia as a single filer.
1.Federal Tax Calculation:

• Standard deduction: $14,600.
• Taxable income for federal tax: $65,000- $14,600 = $50,400.
• Federeal tax rate (24%):
  • 10% on income up to $11,600:
    $11,600 x 10% = $1,160.
  • 12% on income from $11,601 to $47,150:
    ($47,150-$11,601) x 12% = $4,266
  • 22% on income from $47,151 to $100,525:
    ($50,400-$47,150) = $3,250 x 22% = $715
• Federal tax owed: $1,160 + $4,266 + $715 =$6,141.

2. Virginia State Tax Calculation:

• Standard deduction: $8,500.
• Taxable income for state tax: $65,000- $8,500 = $56,500.
• State tax rate (5.75%):
  $3,000 x 2% + $2,000 x 3% + $12,000 x 5% + ($56,000 - $17,000) x 5.75% = $2,991.
  
• State tax owed: $2,991.

3.Social Security Tax (No deductions, taxed on gross income):

• $65,000 x 6.2% = $4,030.
• Social security tax owed: $4,030.

4.Medicare Tax (No deductions, taxed on gross income):

• $65,000 x 1.45% = $943.
• Medicare tax owed: $943.

5.Total Tax:

• $6,141 + $2,991 + $4,030 + $943 = $14,105

6.Net Pay
